Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I really need your help in this topic : I realized today that my Dumeril's has two small brown/red looking wounds on his under his mouth. I am almost sure that this came from the rat I recently gave to him . I do not want this to turn into mouthroth !!!!! Do you have any advices I could use ? Anything is very welcome as this male means a lot to me and I do not want anything happen to him. I do not have a good reptile vet in the area I live - PA ( Allentown ). The snake is kept in Vision cage where the humidity level is constant ( 65%) and temperature ( hot spot - 87F, cold spot - 78F ) . The bottom of the cage is filled with reptibarks where the animal usually dig in. I moved him now to the other cage with newspaper to prevent any infection, raised overal temperature ( day and night ) and applied triple antibiotic ( Polymixin B, Bacitracin, Neomycin ) . Do you think there is something else I could do . Please drop me a line at arturgorniak@yahoo.com if you have any experience in treating this infection .
I really appreciate any comments!!!!!

I am assuming that you are saying the rat bit him...right?
Sorry...My only brilliant advice is to get as many of your snakes on frozen/thawed prey as possible as soon as possible. Hope he comes through OK. Duffy
